Next year is a big gaming year for me and you can be apart of my year too!

I wish it was that easy with Japanese. English is so fucking easy to understand that you only need a handful of words and basic grammar to start learning and understanding your first sentences. With Japanese you need training and a couple of thousand words to understand at least a few words per sentence.

Let's hope in 10 years my understanding of Japanese is at least half as good as that of English.

I'm learning Japanese too! (Afterall I have to live up to my username!). It has been difficult, I must say, but I feel so great when I make progress. There's also a whole bunch of Japanese media that can keep my interest unlike French, which I'm mainly learning as I live in Canada and it's helpful for employment.

Yeah, all languages beside English and Japanese are stupid. I'd never start learning a language that is not useful to me. So far English and Japanese are the only useful ones I know. I'm going to Japan the year after next and I'm trying a hard regiment of vocab and grammar training until then so I have no trouble there.

Once I'm done with Japanese in 40 years or so I hope to learn some Chinese to better communicate with our then supreme overlords.
